What, a woman couldn't have handled the gulf mess? Geez, cleaning up after others is one of the many things they are good at. Stereotypically, of course.

I'm going to climb out on a limb and say that Barack Obama is not be nearly as happy to be Parker's "first woman President" as Bill Clinton was about Toni Morrison's approval. Not that he has the guts to say so, of course.

So there I was this morning reading my WAPO and I spotted this from Kathleen Parker and I thought this will be good. It was not. It was awful and I did not get it. I find her to be extremely hit or miss and unfortunately way more misses than hits.

Personally her knocks on G.W. have grown tiresome and her desires to try to play it down the line is unnecessary as a columnist.

I've looked at several Harding pictures. I see no hint of black ancestry. Perhaps his great grandmother was 1/4 black??? I've seen many black people in the District of all shapes, size, and colors. I'm wondering if this is fact (that is, irrefutable fact).

I thought the race for first woman President was between Woodrow Wilson's wife (after his stroke), Nancy Reagan, and Hilary Clinton.

Like Warren Harding, John Boehner hails from Ohio -- actually just over the border from Kentucky. A lot of white folks in that region have some black ancestry. Just speculating, but this might account for Boehner's perpetual tan -- Boehner might even fail the Paper Bag Test. If so, Boehner would have more Afro-American roots than Obama.

Harding was rumored to have a black great grandparent - considered a stain in those times. His biography 30 years ago was called The Shadow of Blooming Grove in reference to that. I read it about 20 years ago, maybe more. Harding may have been unfairly maligned, as his level of corruption was not much worse than was common. Still, the corruption seems to have been real, and even the benefit of all doubt would not raise him up much in the estimation of historians.http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Blooming-Grove-Warren-Harding/dp/0070543380
